Synopsis

Album Description
Like every musical genre these days, House is undergoing transformation. Internationally acclaimed producer and DJ, Julius Papp, leads this metamorphosis with his newest release, Loveslapped by Julius Papp. Julius presents three tracks, along side other Loveslap artists who believe House should be a musical journey containing all the emotions, feelings and elements of real life. Moving away from the common "colder" synth-based sounds long associated with the genre towards the integration of more live instruments and organic sounds, Julius purposefully tells a story with his song composition and selection. Building on his early musical influences from the 1970's when disco, soul and rock all coexisted on the same radio stations, Julius expanded his musical interests over the years to include everything from dance to old school funk to hip hop and jazz. With this eclectic culmination in mind, he developed a smoother edge, a deeply soulful soothing style of House that is captured in this new release. Over the past decade, Julius has played radio, maintained packed residencies, and toured throughout the world. For this exciting new mixed CD, Julius drew exclusively from the Loveslap catalog and family of artists to create his realization of how it feels to be Loveslapped by Julius Papp.
 

CD Reviews

3.5 for deep house done right
Richard Diaz | 08/20/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Way, way underground and for some time Julius Papp's been putting his fingers on some of the finest deep house music around. Last year's darling Esho Funi v1 would have made even the scantily clad Naked Music gals flush with envy, as the handful of alert buyers who snatched up that barely-marketed jewel well know. Here, Papp again attaches himself to another American micro-label, Loveslap! Recordings, a family of a few highly talented individuals. He leads with his elegant guitar ballad "A Flower Blossoms," quickly trumped by the exquisitely backed vocals from Carrie on sweet love story "Adore" from Santillan, Gray and Brann. Vocal pieces and instrumentals are held in balance, with novel surprises (the French soul of "Belle et Bete") and occasional foray into jam band territory (the organic approach to "Rial".) Final nods go for the guitar-led groover "All I Do." Except for some unwelcome keyboard interludes on "Azziza" and "Grace," Loveslapped is deep house done right, flowing together in a warm haze but with enough chops for the dance floor."
The V.I.P. of House CDs
blue_avacado | San Francisco, CA USA | 04/15/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Loveslapped! by Julius Papp is all that I've ever wanted in a house mix: consistent, soulful, inspired and sexy. It's the essence of a pretty-people pool party in L.A. and a glowing sunset in Ibiza. All of the right elements of style and passion have been craftily mixed together by Julius Papp. This is the V.I.P room of house mix CDs."
Excellent Deep House
jazzbuff1961 | East Orange, NJ United States | 11/27/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just want to say that this Cd is awesome. Jazzy groves, soulful, and deep house can only explain the magnitude of this music. Julius Papp's style of mix is very unique. It incorporates a variety of dance styles. By the way, I also seen Loveslapped 2 which I have not purchased yet but will be getting this weekend. The guitar on the first track is wonderful!!!!"
